Did a Lawyer's Conflict of Interest Result in a Poor Outcome for Your Side?

Your lawyer owed it to you to screen your legal matter for possible conflicts of interest. This is a fundamental duty of an ethical law practice. Your lawyer was trained from the beginning of his or her legal education to avoid conflicts of interest such as:

Simultaneously representing parties on opposing sides

Agreeing to act as a scribe for two parties composing an agreement, such as a prenuptial agreement, when each should ethically have had separate representation

Representing you when doing so "would be materially and adversely affected by the lawyer's own interests or by the lawyer's duties to another current client, a former client, or a third person" (Restatement of the Law Governing Lawyers)

Accepting your case when even an appearance of impropriety in that representation exists

Agreeing to represent you despite deficiencies in the appropriate area of the law

Engaging in any improper relationship(s) — including intimate relationships, close social interactions and business dealings — with parties on either side of a case (clients, attorneys or expert witnesses likely to testify)

Through several decades of litigation and legal insurance experience, I, Carter L. Hampton, have amassed a great deal of knowledge in the area of conflicts of interest and legal malpractice. Law firms throughout North America regularly seek my involvement as an expert witness in such cases. I am available and qualified to evaluate conflict of interest lawsuits throughout Texas, the U.S. and Canada. I have achieved large verdicts when trying such cases and am available to represent clients in complex conflict of interest claims and lawsuits.
